The game of football can move real fast for a first-year starting quarterback.

Whoa, did AJ McCarron learn that a year ago. His facial expression when asked about it said that much. Still, he made it out the other side with a national championship ring after things slowed down.

Now entering his first spring as the solid No. 1, the rising junior from Mobile can look back at the growing process of Year 1.

“I thought they were cheating,” he said. “I didn’t think they were playing with 11. I thought there were 22 out there.”

Things came together in late October and played his best game (24 of 34 passing for 234 yards) in the Crimson Tide’s 21-0 pounding of LSU in the national championship game.

This time last year all of us were having the great Sims vs McCarron debate, success can change a lot of minds.  ;)

How true.  I'm just happy that one of them (AJ) stepped forward, and we got to keep both.  They are both worthy players who contribute mightily.
